COVID-19 - DVSA - Restarting Driving Lessons & Tests in England & Wales

The UK Government has confirmed in recent announcements that lockdown restrictions can be eased as planned in England and Wales.

This means driver, rider and vocational lessons and tests will restart in line with the indicative dates we previously shared with you.

Driving lessons will restart on 12 April and driving tests 10 days later on 22 April. Fleet training and testing will also restart on 12 April.

Test Ready

The DVSA will email candidates with car practical tests booked from the 22 April to let them know their tests will go ahead.

Theory Tests

Theory tests will restart in England and Wales on 12 April 2021. The DVSA will email all candidates with theory tests booked before 12 April to ask them to reschedule their suspended test.

Plans are in place to open new temporary theory test centres and increase opening times at the majority of theory test centres.

Mobile Emergency Worker Tests

Practical and theory tests for mobile emergency workers which have already been booked will still take place as scheduled.
